americans are doers. hinduism is navel-gazing. Americans might be attracted to islam cause it gives them something to do, even if it is blowing up buildings. old hindus are scary looking. they all have really worn out faces and wicked dark circles under their eyes. No American wants to look like that. Finally, while I know hindus can get agitated and violent, they generally are associated with ghandi and pacifism and nonviolence. Again, that’s just not the American DNA.

That's not really true. Hinduism is a lot more about doing too -- you're talking about one religion within the Hindu umbrella. They have other philosophies in their (and no, it's not like Christian groups, but something more expansive, like all Abrahamic religions).

You mean old Indians? because the Christians, Muslims and Jews in India look exactly like the various ethnicities in India.

Those words are embarassing as they portray Americans as ignorant.

Do read a bit more about India and the rest of the world outside our borders.
